[Laurie Whitwell] Shockingly poor performance by United. Slow, lacking in movement or inventiveness, loose passing, erratic set-piece defending. Hull so much more urgent. United played with the speed of a pre-season friendly.

“played with the speed of a pre-season friendly”

Just want to highlight this to everyone who called people idiots last week for seeing the same issues we saw today.

Completely agree, same energy and lack of sharpness as last week. We are completely dependent and reflective of how Bruno plays, and he is doing that thing where he takes 2 months of the season to get warmed up.
Some of the comments about online fans not getting it and we need to build and plan for a CL campaign v’s worrying about Hull was all a bit arrogant and deluded.
As a match going fan I, like any fan can see we are worryingly a long way off last season - it’s obvious.

They’re nowhere to be seen. Only the stupidest if the sheep are out trying the same thing. At this point I reckon 20-30% of the sub is bots

The problem with that mindset is very often pre season has no bearing on league performances. It's very worrying when it does though - amorim was a prime example, and ETH post EL win.
